Update for 2017. I just emailed DFDS freight department for fares from Brevik/Esbjerg to Immingham. Quoting the answer:
"Unfortunately we can’t accept leisure / private passengers on any of our routes calling Port of Immingham. The port is considered an industrial port by the UK Border Force (UKBF) with no passenger facilities to do proper immigration check of each passenger as known from e.g. air ports. It is therefore not allowed by the UKBF to arrive or depart as leisure / private passenger from Port of Immingham with our freight ships."
Inquiring if the procedure has changed within last months they told me:
"The decision was taken last year in September by the UKBF."
Hopefully anyone has an opposite information.
